The Perfect 5-Night Belize Itinerary for Families and Small Groups
Planning a group vacation can feel overwhelming. Between balancing everyone’s interests, coordinating activities, and making sure there’s time to relax, it’s easy to get stuck in planning mode instead of vacation mode. That’s why a stay at Casa Al Mar makes all the difference.
With a private chef, your own boat and captain, and a dedicated tour guide, we take care of every detail from the moment you land in Belize. All you need to do is show up, settle in, and enjoy a vacation that’s perfectly designed for families and groups of friends. Even better, our six-bedroom home is ideal for 8–14 guests — with exclusive use of the entire property.
Here’s an example of the perfect 5-night Belize itinerary to make the most of your stay.
Day 1: Arrival & Settle Into Your Private Retreat
Your group will be greeted at the Belize airport and taken to your boat transfer – this is about 25 minutes. After that, it’s just another 20 minutes to the island. You’ll feel the stress melt away as you glide across waters toward St. George’s Caye, where Casa Al Mar awaits.
- Welcome drinks and a personalized tour of the property
- Unpack and relax on one of two private docks
- Sunset cocktails followed by a chef-prepared welcome dinner
Travel tip: Keep arrival day relaxed so everyone can adjust and settle in after their journey.
Day 2: Reef Snorkeling & Island Picnic
Kick off your first full day with an unforgettable ocean adventure. With your private boat and captain, there’s no rushing or sharing space with strangers — just your group exploring at your own pace.
- Morning snorkeling at the Belize Barrier Reef, the second-largest reef system in the world
- Picnic lunch on a secluded sandbar or private beach
- Return to Casa Al Mar for an afternoon swim and sunset relaxation
In the evening, enjoy a themed dinner prepared by your private chef — perhaps a Belizean-inspired seafood feast.
Day 3: Choose Your Adventure – Fishing, Culture, or Relaxation
Every group is unique, and Casa Al Mar makes it easy to customize your day. With your captain and guide, you can choose how to spend the day based on everyone’s mood and interests.
- Fishing excursion: Try reef drop-fishing or trolling
- Island Hopping: Visit Caye Caulker for the day, swim with friendly sharks or feed the popular tarpons
- Relaxation day: Stay close to home, enjoy kayaking, or sunbathe on the docks
Return in time for a casual family-style dinner under the stars.
Day 4: Inland Adventure – Rainforest & Ziplining
On day four, trade your flip-flops for hiking shoes as you head inland for a full day of Belize’s lush jungle adventures. Our team will coordinate all the details and transportation for a seamless experience.
- Ziplining through the rainforest canopy
- Cave tubing along crystal-clear underground rivers
- Optional wildlife spotting or birdwatching tours
Return to Casa Al Mar for a laid-back evening — the perfect time to share stories and photos of your day’s adventures.
Day 5: Relax, Reflect & Celebrate
Your last full day is all about soaking up the magic of Belize and enjoying the comforts of your private home.
- Quiet coffee and breakfast on the east dock
- Leisurely swimming or kayaking
- Optional half-day snorkel or fishing trip
- Farewell dinner prepared by your chef — a true celebration of your time together
Many families choose to celebrate milestone birthdays, anniversaries, or reunions on this final night, making it extra special.
Day 6: Departure Day
After one last breakfast together, our team will escort you back to the mainland for your departure flights. While saying goodbye is never easy, you’ll leave with a lifetime of memories and plans to return.
Why a 5-Night Stay Works Best
At Casa Al Mar, our 5-night minimum stay ensures that every group has enough time to fully experience Belize without feeling rushed.
It gives you the perfect balance of:
- Two full days of ocean adventures
- One full inland excursion
- Time to relax and connect with loved ones
Many of our guests tell us that anything less than five nights simply isn’t enough to take advantage of everything Casa Al Mar and Belize have to offer. Read more about all our activities here.
